Volume 4 Wants to Compare West Lake to Xizi Chapter 344 Negotiations
"Your emperor's letter," Maha Mu said angrily: "The old man has to see what he said before he can decide"
"Of course there is a letter from Your Majesty," Wu Wei spread his hands and said, "but it is a message." ”
"There is no basis for words," Mahamula lowered his face and said, "How can the old man believe you?" ”
"Shunning Wang Shao'an is not impatient," Wu Wei said lightly: "On the matter, some negotiations require our emperor to write a letter to express sincerity, but some negotiations do not need to be ...... at all For example, this time, our Royal Highness is in your hands, how can you play tricks with the prince? Saying Zhengse, he said: "Our emperor's favorite is our grandson, and he can't be hurt in the slightest." ”
"Forgive me, you don't dare to play tricks......" Ma Hamu thought about it, Lao Tzu didn't see rabbits and eagles, could they still trap me? Although he was unhappy with the contempt of the Ming Dynasty emperor, the other party was the winner, he was just a loser who was strong in the outside, how could he be so strong? Snorted and said, "What message did your emperor bring?" ”
"We have to see His Royal Highness Taisun before we can say it." Wu Weidao.
This is also the proper meaning of the question, Ma Hamu nodded, and asked Wang Xian to come over, but then he learned that he was accompanied by Tuhuan, and went out to hunt, seeing that noon had arrived, and he couldn't come back...... The Mongolian habit of hospitality cannot be changed at any time, said Mahamu, then eat first.
So he roasted the whole sheep, filled it with milk wine, and invited two chincha to the table. However, Ma Hamu will not do it himself, he still sits cross-legged on the tiger skin, one hand supports his knees, the other hand touches the unkempt beard, his face is gloomy, showing the appearance of a hero. His younger brother Taiping sat aside, full of passion, talking about the reasons why the Ming army would be defeated and that victory would belong to Warat after all.
Wu Wei and Xu Huaiqing, I really didn't think that the Warat people also had such an unobtrusive guy, they already knew that the Ming army won two big victories, beheaded more than 8,000 people, captured more than 7,000 people, captured tens of thousands of horses, and lost more than half of the strength of the Warat Department...... This is by no means to say that the Warat people still have half of the strength, because war is never a simple arithmetic problem, and it is also restricted by many factors, such as morale Generally speaking, the army of this era, if the loss exceeds one percent, it will collapse into an army, even if it is a home battle, the losses that can be borne will not exceed two percent. Now that the losses of the Warat people have reached fifty percent, the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened and their morale will be extremely low, even if Genghis Khan is reincarnated, he will not be able to unite the morale of the army again, let alone fight with the Ming army again.
Now Taiping still insists that Warat will win, it is really nonsense, and it is nonsense, Xu Huaiqing listened to it like a chicken, without saying a word, Wu Wei casually agreed, absent-mindedly, but ate a lot of roast mutton: "Well, this mutton is good, King Xianyi tastes it......"
"I eat ...... all day long" Taiping didn't realize at all, the other party wanted to plug his mouth, and he still talked endlessly, until his mouth was dry, and then he picked up the milk wine and drank it.
Seeing that the envoy had almost eaten, Mahamu coughed and put forward the conditions of Warat, the specific content of which is as follows:
"First of all, the Ming Dynasty and Warat became a country of brothers, exchanging oaths and communicating forever. In order to show sincerity, the Ming Dynasty married a princess and relatives. Warat will also drive a princess to the Ming Dynasty and marry the Qin and Jin dynasties forever. Secondly, the Ming Dynasty opened border cities such as Xuanda to trade with Warat. Third, the Ming Dynasty recognized Warat's jurisdiction over the Hetao region. Fourth, the Ming Dynasty returned Boluo, who had been captured by them, as well as other captives. Fifth, the Tatar prince Arutai sent the prince to take hostage to Helin and swear allegiance to Tariba Khan. After saying a long list of requests, Mahamu said slowly: "The five have all agreed, and His Royal Highness the Taisun will return safely." ”
Although the two were imposter envoys, they were stunned by Mahamu's greed and shamelessness, it turned out that the two brothers were in the same line, which is the attitude of a war loser? Do you really think that 'His Royal Highness Taisun, in his hand, can eat Da Ming to death?'
Such a clause is unacceptable to any Ming envoy. What's more, they are not real envoys, so of course it's okay to agree to it casually, but where can they cash it out to Mahamu? The two had no choice but to say that they would wait until they saw His Royal Highness Taisun to give an answer.
In fact, Ma Hamu also knew that his demands were excessive, but isn't this how he does business, asking for a price and paying back the money on the ground? Now that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty have come to the door, if they don't kill themselves, wouldn't they be too sorry for the heaven-sent Ming Dynasty
It's just that if he knows that the Ming Dynasty envoy opposite is fake, and the Ming Dynasty grandson in the camp is also fake, his brother's elaborate performance is just a monkey show in the eyes of others, I don't know how he will feel?
In the Taisun camp, Wang Xian listened to Wu Wei talk about the conditions of the Warat people, and laughed at the time: "The old thing is not as stupid as you think, he is testing you." ”
"Test us?" After all, Wu Wei didn't know Ma Hamu as Wang Xian, so he didn't quite understand the meaning of what he meant.
"It's not so out of tune for the lion to open his mouth, if you say go back and report to the emperor," Wang Xian said with certainty, "Mahamu will definitely cut off your heads." ”
"Yes...... Wu Wei patted his head and said, "Thanks to the reminder of the adult, otherwise we would have almost fallen into his way"
"How?" Xu Huaiqing is still at a loss for the second monk.
"Do you think, if we are real envoys, dare to go back to the emperor with these conditions?" Wu Wei said: "Even if the emperor doesn't cut us, our life will be completely over." Therefore, the real envoys must argue with them, but on the contrary, they want to fool their fakes. ”
"The Mongols also have so many fancy intestines?" Xu Huaiqing was speechless.
"Nonsense, people have also been in the Central Plains, do you think the rectum can do it?" Wu Wei rolled his eyes and said.
"Not bad." Wang Xian bowed his head and said: "So you still have to fight according to reason, strictly abide by the bottom line, and the rest can't agree, saying that it is impossible for even the emperor to break Ma Hamu's thoughts, he will be convinced." ”
"It's a pity that I'm not the material for negotiations......" Wu Wei was a little less confident.
"What are you afraid of, negotiation is," Wang Xian smiled nonchalantly: "You just need to remember that if you can't agree, you won't agree, and the rest will be." ”
"Hmm." Wu Wei nodded, accepted Wang Xian's secret note, and asked, "Then what is our bottom line."
Wang Xian thought for a moment, raised a finger and said, "First, the army can be withdrawn to the country. second, Arutai can be restrained and he is not allowed to take the opportunity to sneak attack; Third, as long as Mahamu is a minister, he can open the border cities to trade with him......" paused, and said a little embarrassed: "If they have to insist, the marriage can also be reported to the emperor...... Tell them that the emperor will not agree to any conditions other than that. If Mahamu agrees, there will be peace, and if he refuses, he will continue to fight"
"Yes." The two of them responded in a deep voice, then left Wang Xian's tent, followed the impatient dejoy, and returned to Mahamu's big tent.
"How is it, are you still satisfied with the condition of His Royal Highness Taisun?" Mahamu asked with a smug look on his face.
"Yes." Wu Wei nodded.
"Now can we talk?" Mahamu asked coldly.
"Yes." Wu Wei nodded again and said: "At first, the prince said the conditions of Wara, and it is said that the lower officials should report to the emperor and then reply. But before the officials came, the emperor specially instructed that some things can be agreed, and some things must not be agreed. If the prince insists on insisting, we will have to sacrifice His Royal Highness. As he spoke, his face sank and he said: "But with King An Le and the eight thousand captives to accompany the burial, our Highness is not wronged."
"Hmph" At this point, this incredible negotiation finally has a bit of a tense negotiation
"What can you say yes and what can't you say yes?" Mahamu's words revealed that he just wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him.
Wu Wei followed Wang Xian's intentions and shrunk the conditions of Mahamu by at least half.
Mahamu saw that except for the withdrawal of the Ming army, he didn't get anything he wanted...... Hetao, harmony and other inconsistency demands are just that, even Boluo and the thousands of prisoners will not let go, which makes him deeply unhappy and said: "Even my brother refuses to let go, is this negotiation also called sincerity?" ”
"That is, if you don't let go of our third brother and those disciples, you can only let your grandson suffer." It's easy for Tai Ping to interject.
"Please make it clear to the prince, we are the winning party" Wu Wei finally couldn't help but said coldly: "You have made such excessive conditions, how can our emperor agree?" Take 10,000 steps back, even if our emperor can agree, can hundreds of thousands of soldiers agree to that time, it really arouses the emperor's anger, I see how the prince will end? ”
"Your emperor is angry, why should I end it?" Mahmu is not so confident anymore. In other words, his previous self-confidence was all faked.
"Could it be that the battle of Hulan has not made the prince realize what it means to 'the Son of Heaven is angry, and the blood is drifting,'" Wu Wei said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the prince really plans to be driven back to the northwest by our emperor?"
"Then we'll have to wait until his grandson is dead." Mahamu beat a drum in his heart and snorted coldly on his face.
"With King Anle and 8,000 watts of Zhuang Ding accompanying the burial, our Royal Highness is also decent." Wu Wei said with his neck straight. Speaking of which, the two are back to square one. After persisting for a while, Wu Wei broke the deadlock and said: "The prince wants too much, it has exceeded the emperor's tolerance limit, let's be more pragmatic."
"My third brother and those soldiers, can you put them back?" Mahamu's coercion and temptation have been exhausted, and it is difficult to speak at this time. It was Taiping's voice to speak on his behalf.
"Withdrawing the army and releasing people, the prince can only choose one......" Wu Wei also found out, dealing with the Warat people, if you are soft, he will be hard, and if you are hard, he will be soft. After thinking about this, he naturally hardened
